arp: do not assume dev_hard_header() does not change skb->head
[ Upstream commit c92510f5e3f82ba11c95991824a41e59a9c5ed81 ] arp_create() is the only dev_hard_header() caller making assumption about skb->head being unchanged. A recent commit broke this assumption. Initialize @arp pointer after dev_hard_header() call. Fixes: db5b4e39c4e6 ("ip6_gre: make ip6gre_header() robust") Reported-by: syzbot+58b44a770a1585795351@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260107212250.384552-1-edumazet@google.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
